"Having a Party"

We're havin' a party

Dancin' to the music

Played by the DJ

On the radio

The Cokes are in the icebox

Popcorn's on the table

Me and my baby

We're out here on the floor

So Mr, Mr. DJ

Keep those records playin'

'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time

Dancin' with my baby

Everybody's swingin'

Sally's doin' the twist now

If you take requests I've

Got a few for you

Play that song called "Soul Twist"

Play that one called "I Know"

Don't forget the "Mashed Potatoes"

No other songs will do

Let me tell you Mr, Mr. DJ

Keep those records playin'

'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time

Dancin' with my baby

Havin' a party, yeah

Everybody's swingin', oh we're

Dancin' to the music, yeah

On the radio

Oh, we're havin' a party, man

Everybody's swingin'

We're dancin' to the music, yeah

On the radio

Tell 'em one more time

We're havin' a party, yeah

And everybody's swingin'

Oh, we're dancin' to the music, yeah

On the radio

Tell you

We're havin' a party
